'I expect more from the team'

Man Utd 1-0 Zorya Luhansk

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "It was not an easy game, we played well, created chances but this is a typical game. When you don't score in the beginning, the spaces get smaller and smaller. After the goal, we had more space but it was a decent game. We won and that is what counts after losing against Feyenoord.

"If you want to go through, you need to win the game, we did that. We could have done much more though and I expect much more from the team. We did not score as we did against Leicester but it is good for confidence. If we continue this and step it up, we will do good."

GOAL - Manchester United 1-0 Zorya Luhansk

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (67 mins)

There is the breakthrough.

Seconds after coming on, Wayne Rooney claims an assist. Good play in the area from Timothy Fosu-Mensah sees the right-back cut the ball back to Rooney, whose mis-cued strike bounces to Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the back post.

Two yards out, the Swede holds off a Zorya defender and nods in to the net.
